(Yabiladi) Every Ramadan, a debate resurfaces among football enthusiasts and professionals about introducing breaks to allow Muslim players to break their fast. This year, several federations and leagues worldwide are extending this exceptional measure, while others, such as in France, have remained silent since their previous refusals.
In Belgium, football authorities are allowing a break during matches this Ramadan to enable Muslim players to break their fast. This measure, which has sparked debate in Belgium and other European federations, is being reintroduced after flexibility was shown in the previous two seasons.
The French Football Federation (FFF), however, has remained silent this year following past controversy over its refusal to introduce this break, meaning it is still not allowed.
